This made it possible for him to win trusts from the Byron Hadley, the cruel captain of the guards and Warden Samuel Norton.

Thirdly is the funding project for the library in the prison. After being assigned as the keeper of the library, Andy had tried his best to write to the government for funds to rebuild the library in the prison, which was successful at last. The fund raising activities of Andy was the outcome of being a responsible accountant for the entire prison and he was trying his best to favor others in the prison.
With the description of Andy’s being an accountant for everyone who needed the service, the responsibilities of an accountant was clearly portrayed in The Shawshank Redemption 1994, and it has brought favorable influences to the people be served. For the guard in the prison, they had received a professional and reliable service which could improve the trusts of the accountant they only had.

Firstly, to be professional would bring trusts from others. Andy was precise in dealing with the tax declaring and it has brought much convenience for others. It was the foundation for his reputation and possibility of freedom. Secondly, even though professional skills could help the illegal affairs, and there are many reports about the dark side of being an accountant, for instance it would be easy for them to choose illegal activities in cheating on the origin of the money, the accountants could still choose to be just and noble. Even forced to do the illegal affairs, Andy would choose to take it as an evidence to fight the law breakers.

We were the lords of all creation. As for andy he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face, watching us drink his beer." This quote shows how little things teh prisoners get can make them happy.Another example would be when he used the hammer to escape from prison. It started when he asked Red to get him a rok hammer, which he said he would use to shape rocks. He calms Red's conscious as he tells it would take him a thousand years to break out of prison with a rosk hammer.When he received the rosk hammer he started to shape rocks as soon as he could and hidden that hole with a poster.After he had the hole big enough to crawl throught, he asked Heywood for a six-foot piece of rope.
The Shawshank Redemption is an inspiring story about Andy Dufreine and his efforts to maintain hope in horrible situations. The directors used many effective methods that displayed signs of hope in such a horrible place. Andy maintained hope by distracting his mind and always staying occupied. Andy was also inspired to survive by helping others find hope in life.
Outside in the exercise yard a loud siren wails. The incarcerated men all gather together to get a look at the new prisoners that have just arrived. Reds' first impression of Andy Dufresne was, " That one looks like a stiff breeze could knock him over. That tall drink of water with a silver spoon up his ass." Little did Red know, at this time, but the two men would develop a strong bond. The mutual friendship Red and Andy would cultivate, caused them both to grow an inner strength which helped them deal with prison life.
"The Shawshank Redemption" is a compelling film about two imprisoned convicted murderers. Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), is innocent, however. Convicted of killing his wife and her lover (a crime for which he clearly had a strong motive), he really "didn't do". Of course, as his jailbird friend "Red" (Morgan Freeman) puts it, "Everybody in here is innocent." Well, Red is "the only guilty man" in Shawshank Prison. As their friendship develops, Andy learns the ropes of prison. Meanwhile, the warden (Bob Gunton) decides that Andy, a well- educated former banker could carry out something more useful than laundry. So, he places Andy as the prison librarian, and later, as his an accountant (he does taxes for all the jail's employees). Andy also assists the warden in money scams (as he tells Red, "I was always an honest man - I had to come to jail to become a crook!")

In Shawshank Redemption good and evil though personalities were shown as opposite to the stereotypes society holds. We would expect characters like the warden and the guards to be good people yet we are proved different after watching the movie. The same thing is shown with some of the prison inmates. This shows us how society sets norms that portray law enforcers as good and prisoners as evil; Shawshank challenges these stereotypes.
